Planning application

Allotments Kennet Road Newbury

Awaiting decision West Berkshire 26/02242/TPC

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Common Ash (1864) is diseased and remaining limb is leaning over properties. Needs felling. Sycamore (1863) has a large basal cavity. Reducing by 50% preserve as much of the tree as possible. Due to previous works that have been carried out on this tree, this will leave it as a 2m standing stem. Common Ash (1876) has major deadwood over path and allotment sites. Requires deadwood removal

As published by the council, reference 26/02242/TPC

    1883 - Ash Tree: Shown on map. Seems to be in decline potentially Ash Die Back but too early to diagnose. Western sides seems to be in recreation with lots of large dead wood throughout canopy. Eastern side is strongest with strongest limb but is very weighted towards that one limbs side. Application to remove deadwood down to 3 cm in circumference, due to regression on Western side, reduce canopy on eastern side by 20% to balance tree as limb has heavy lean towards residential home. Happy to meet on site assessed by myself Town Council qualified tree surveyor.
